A 5-year-old video of a British singer performing a ghazal is winning hearts on the internet and people are in love with her soulful voice. The old video resurfaced on social media after industrialist Anand Mahindra shared it on Twitter on June 21. The video featured Tanya Wells, who is a British artist. Tanya is trained in Hindustani classical vocal and in the video she sings the song - ‘Gulon Mein Rang Bhare’. Written by renowned poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz, the 1964 ghazal was composed by Pakistani singer Mehdi Hassan.
Tanya’s soulful rendition of the popular ghazal has left netizens impressed. Mahindra was also impressed with the singer’s voice. Sharing the video, he wrote that though the video is 5 years old, he has listened to it for the first time. Appreciating her voice, Mahindra said that there is an elegance in her voice and it has changed the quality of his morning. “If this is what globalisation is, then bring it on,” he added.

The novelty of seeing a striking Caucasian woman singing ghazals soon gives way to the awe of her sheer talent for this art form—the perfect Urdu diction, the characteristic lilts and inflections of ghazals, and of course the soulful voice….— Manoj K Jha aka Manu (@manojgjha) June 21, 2021
Very beautiful, and thanks for sharing. 'chale bhi aao ke gulshan ka kaarobar chale' is so difficult to translate… Maybe 'come along so the garden will flourish' would be better… #faizahmedfaiz— Suhasini Kirloskar (@TweetySuhasini) June 21, 2021
